About Victoria
Victoria Olanipekun welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression or the after-effects of trauma. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps easier for someone who is worried or unsure. Her approach is gentle and focused on the person in front of her.
Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to shape sessions around what each person needs. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused work when those techniques suit the problem. Conversations are practical and plain, with an emphasis on building clearer thinking and steadier coping skills.
With four years of clinical experience she has supported people through bereavement, anger, and long-term stress. She also helps with relationship patterns linked to attachment, issues around body image, and difficulties caused by chronic illness or addiction. Victoria aims to listen first and then work with each person to set manageable, realistic goals.
Sessions are run with respect and sensitivity. Victoria explains options and checks in about pace and comfort as therapy proceeds. She encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to set the agenda for each meeting.
Her BACP credential is shown as a marker of professional registration. Victoria accepts international clients and holds sessions in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's needs at the centre of each session. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting and helping people set the agenda for conversations, which can be helpful for issues like anxiety, low mood and relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. In online work CBT can include simple exercises, mood tracking and step-by-step plans to tackle specific problems such as stress or panic.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely addressing the effects of traumatic experiences. Online sessions may move at a careful pace and use grounding and stabilisation techniques to manage distress before working on deeper material.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help the person choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not name specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a therapist from another location while arranging times that suit day-to-day commitments.
